2 Chronicles 17
1 And his son Jehoshaphat reigns in his stead, and he strengthens himself against Israel,
Yehosafati mwana wake analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake ndipo anadzilimbitsa pofuna kulimbana ndi Israeli.
2 and puts a force in all the fortified cities of Judah, and puts garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.
Iye anayika magulu a asilikali mʼmizinda yonse yotetezedwa ya Yuda, ndipo anamanga maboma mu Yuda ndi mʼmizinda yonse ya Efereimu imene Asa abambo ake analanda.
3 And YHWH is with Jehoshaphat, for he has walked in the first ways of his father David, and has not sought for the Ba‘alim,
Yehova anali ndi Yehosafati chifukwa mʼzaka zoyambirira anatsatira makhalidwe a Davide abambo ake. Iye sanafunsire kwa Abaala.
4 for he has sought for the God of his father, and he has walked in His commands, and not according to the work of Israel.
Koma anafunafuna Mulungu wa abambo ake ndipo anatsatira malamulo ake osati zochita za Israeli.
5 And YHWH establishes the kingdom in his hand, and all Judah gives a present to Jehoshaphat, and he has riches and honor in abundance,
Yehova anakhazikitsa kolimba ufumuwo mʼmanja mwake ndipo Ayuda onse anabweretsa mphatso kwa Yehosafati, kotero kuti anali ndi chuma ndi ulemu wambiri.
6 and his heart is high in the ways of YHWH, and again he has turned aside the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.
Mtima wake anawupereka kutsatira Yehova, kuwonjezera apo, anachotsa malo onse achipembedzo ndi mafano a Asera mu Yuda.
7 And in the third year of his reign he has sent for his heads, for Ben-Hail, and for Obadiah, and for Zechariah, and for Nethaneel, and for Michaiah, to teach in cities of Judah;
Mʼchaka chachitatu cha ufumu wake, iye anatuma akuluakulu ake Beni-Haili, Obadiya, Zekariya, Netaneli ndi Mikaya kukaphunzitsa mʼmizinda ya Yuda.
8 and with them the Levites: Shemaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemiramoth, and Jonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijath, and Tob-Adonijah—the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.
Pamodzi ndi iwo panali Alevi ena: Semaya, Netaniya, Zebadiya, Asaheli, Semiramoti, Yonatani, Adoniya, Tobiya ndi Tobu-Adoniya ndiponso ansembe Elisama ndi Yehoramu.
9 And they teach in Judah, and the Scroll of the Law of YHWH [is] with them, and they go around into all cities of Judah, and teach among the people.
Iwo anaphunzitsa mu Yuda monse atatenga Buku la Malamulo a Yehova iwo anayenda mʼmizinda yonse ya ku Yuda ndipo anaphunzitsa anthu.
10 And there is a fear of YHWH on all kingdoms of the lands that [are] around Judah, and they have not fought with Jehoshaphat;
Kuopsa kwa Yehova kunali pa maufumu onse a mayiko oyandikana ndi Yuda, kotero kuti sanachite nkhondo ndi Yehosafati.
11 and [some] from the Philistines are bringing a present to Jehoshaphat, and silver [as] tribute; also, the Arabians are bringing to him a flock of seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred male goats.
Afilisti ena anabweretsa kwa Yehosafati mphatso ndi siliva ngati msonkho, ndipo Aarabu anabweretsa ziweto: nkhosa zazimuna 7,700 ndi mbuzi 7,700.
12 And Jehoshaphat is going on and becoming very great, and he builds palaces and cities of store in Judah,
Mphamvu za Yehosafati zinkakulirakulira. Iye anamanga malo otetezedwa ndi mizinda yosungiramo chuma mu Yuda
13 and he has much work in cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valor, [are] in Jerusalem.
ndipo anali ndi katundu wambiri mʼmizinda ya Yuda. Iye anayikanso asilikali odziwa bwino nkhondo mu Yerusalemu.
14 And these [are] their numbers, for the house of their fathers—of Judah, heads of thousands: Adnah the head, and with him three hundred thousand mighty men of valor;
Chiwerengero chawo potsata mabanja awo chinali chotere: kuchokera ku Yuda, atsogoleri a magulu 1,000; mtsogoleri Adina, anali ndi anthu 300,000 odziwa nkhondo;
15 and at his hand [is] Jehohanan the head, and with him two hundred and eighty thousand;
otsatana naye, mtsogoleri Yehohanani, anali ndi anthu 280,000;
16 and at his hand [is] Amasiah son of Zichri, who is willingly offering himself to YHWH, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valor.
otsatana naye, Amasiya mwana wa Zikiri amene anadzipereka yekha kutumikira Yehova, anali ndi anthu 200,000.
17 And of Benjamin, mighty men of valor: Eliada, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;
Kuchokera ku Benjamini: Eliada, msilikali wolimba mtima, anali ndi anthu 200,000 amene anali ndi mauta ndi zishango;
18 and at his hand [is] Jehozabad, and with him one hundred and eighty thousand armed ones of the host.
otsatana naye, Yehozabadi, anali ndi anthu 180,000 okonzekera nkhondo.
19 These [are] those serving the king, apart from those whom the king put in the fortress cities in all of Judah.
Awa ndi anthu amene ankatumikira mfumu osawerengera amene anawayika mʼmizinda yotetezedwa mʼdziko lonse la Yuda.
